This book is easy to read and can be very helpful to coaches that are just starting off. It has everything from information running try-outs to competition. Working with children can be a difficult task....believe me. Last year I volunteered to start a cheerleading program at a community center. I danced for 18 years, I was on a member of a nationally ranked competitive dance team in college, and I was a cheerleader in high school, and I also did one season as a cheerleader for a semi-pro athletic team. All of that experience didn't prepare me for coaching girls ranging from 6 to 14 years old who had very little experience and also lacked discipline. Trust me when I say "I had NO idea what I got myself into." The first season was extremely shaky because I had to build a team and program from scratch. Everything is running a lot more smoothly now and my team won the first competition they entered....not saying this is entirely because this book, but the information in this book is extremely helpful and vital to running a successful youth cheerleading program.

As a mom who volunteered to coach cheerleading so that there would be a cheer program in the school, I was looking for assistance in the development of the program as well as instructional information for cheers and stunts. This book proved to fill every need, even with sample blank forms. I would recommend this book to anyone who is new to the sport and is creating a new program.
